Chapter 5

The Forgotten Enemy

Kagome walked alone in the forest. Her eyes red from stinging tears, her veil wet from sadness. She was freezing, but wasn't going back. Her hands rubbed up and down her arms, and she gradually began to warm up a little. Her secret, she could never reveal it. Not even to her master, who now seemed to be more than just her master. Her heart was in pain, her mind in a rush, but her eyes...emotionless. Her secret...the one she was forbidden to tell.

flashback

"It is your duty to keep your identity a secret. If someone figured out what you are, it would mean death to both of us. No one can ever know..."

Kagome watched as the figure took out a black veil from a pouch.

"Your eyes, are the only thing you can keep in the open. It's the only thing, other than that, nothing. I trust you. I trust you with my life Kagome, take care of..."

The figure was pulled away and shoved away from her. She heard her last command from her beloved master...

"Please don't forget him...He needs you!"

end flashback

"I will not let you down, master..."

------------------------------------------

Inuyasha sighed. Why had she run, why had she not trusted him. She wanted it as bad as he did, he saw it in the eyes he had begun to so easily read...Her eyes. Those beautiful brown eyes with specks of gold, he could just get lost in their beauty. He could get lost in her beauty, even if the rumors were true, and she was disfigured...he did not care one bit. He loved her, and loved her true he did. His past love Kikyo, was no more than a mere memory in his mind. Kagome...that was the only thing that filled his mind now. His Kagome, if she would take him.

"Inuyasha-sama..."

Inuyasha looked up to see Kagome, her hands behind her head. The string of the veil out of its knot. Her hands held the string, ready to show him her secret.

"Do you want me to?"

He nodded.

She let go of the strings and he watched as the veil fell to the ground. Inuyasha watched in horror as Kagome's face was nothing, not even there. A gaping hole was there where the veil covered.

Suddenly a tentacle sprouted from underneath Kagome's skirt. A huge demon collaborated and formed before his very eyes.

"Silly Inuyasha, did you actually think she'd come to show you."

"Who the hell are you."

A wicked smile ran across the face of the demon.

"My name, is well know to you. I ask you this, who is Kikyo with. Who stole your beloved princess? Who killed her and absorbed her Miko powers. Who?"

Inuyasha's face dropped. Who killed her and absorbed her miko powers? It rang through his mind like a bell...

"Nnnoo..."

"Yes indeed Inuyasha. Why do you think I married her. After I had a few brutal times with her...sexually...I killed her and absorbed her powers. What do you intend to do? Kill me, Hah. Your other miko is next, her powers are very satisfactory. Her body is quite appealing as well."

Naraku licked his lips. Inuyasha's anger raged. It flared in him like fire on oil. It spread through his entire being and pulsated through his veins. His eye's narrow as his brows turned inward.

"You damn fucking BASTARD. YOU FUCKING BASTARD."

Inuyasha let loose his anger, his sword transformed into a giant fang. He screamed as he attacked, as to intimidate the demon. But Inuyasha's fury only brought him pleasure.

"Yes Inuyasha let it form you. Let your anger change your being, let loose your madness. Kill me, kill everyone who hurt you. Kill, KILL!"

An arrow shot out of no where. Kagome's form was visible now, Her eyes bright with fury.

"You dare harm a hair on his head and you'll be dead before you know it."

Kagome's eyes narrowed at the demon. She shot the arrow aimed for his heart. It hit the target, the demon dissolved into dust.

"Are you ok?"

growling

"Inuyasha-sama!"

"Kagome...get the fuck away from me..."

Inuyasha's eyes were red. His hands were changing, his claws grew longer, his hair flared out from him. His fangs grew 3 inches long, and his mind was nothing more than a killing machine.

"Get away Kagome!"

Inuyasha lost himself to his demon nature. His anger flared, he lost control...

"Inuyasha-sama...INUYASHA!"

Kagome put up a small barrier around herself to keep Inuyasha out. His form changed, and his nature was of evil essence. She cried out for him to stop, but he did not even know her. He only wanted to kill...KILL HER! His mind only echoed the words...

KILL HER...

His claws scratched the surface of the barrier, attempting to break it. His fangs gorged the side, succeeding in bending Kagome's powers.

Kagome let the barrier down, she had to help him! She ran towards Inuyasha, arms outstretched. Inuyasha's demon form took a look of surprise, and was stunned.

Girl...KILL...Girl...kill...Kagome...KAGOME!

Inuyasha's eyes changed back to their former gold, his fangs and claws receded. Kagome wrapped her arms around him tighter.

"Don't leave me..."

Inuyasha regained himself to find Kagome with her arms wrapped around him. Her eyes showed terror, fear, like she'd been double-crossed. He felt himself recover his thoughts, his last words before he changed back...

Kill her...Kill the girl...

Inuyasha fell to the ground, along with Kagome. He felt as scarred as Kagome now, his palms were clammy and his pulse was quickened. He felt himself sucome to a cold sweat. He gripped Kagome tightly, held her like a child hold a bear. His fear was evident. So the two sat there in each other's arms, frightened and enraged.

"Inuyasha-sama, I thought you were gone. I thought I lost you..."

"Me too Kagome, me too..."

"Don't do that again, please...I don't want to have to see you like that."

"Kagome...I will do my best. But it wasn't under my control, it was like I lost my soul..."

Kagome gripped Inuyasha tighter and buried her face into his chest. Her tears stained his haori. Inuyasha watched as a tear rolled off his own cheek. They shared the pain, together. The pain...it was their common bond...

After hearing about the brutal death of Kikyo, Inuyasha was devastated. Kagome was his companion at all times. She held his hand while they walked, she sat with him while he rested, she never left his side. She was his only comfort in the cruel world he now lived in. His ray of sunshine in inky darkness, his Kagome. But that didn't stop him from thinking about his Kikyo. Kagome always asked for him to tell her about Kikyo. He always replied that it wasn't a fit subject. Kagome always pressed on. And Inuyasha would finally tell her about Kikyo.

"She had long black hair, it went past her waist to her knees. She had very beautiful brown eyes, and her spirit was kind. She wasn't very friendly, more self kept. But she loved kids, she was a second mom to most of the kids at the castle. But she had a cold stare, but it could be warm. She rarely smiled, but when she did, she lit up the room."

"Sounds pretty amazing. I wish I could have known her..."

Kagome thought about the irony of her sentence...

"Kagome..."

"Yes Inuyasha-sama."

"Why do you want to know about Kikyo?"

"I don't in particularly, but when I miss someone, talking about the good times with them makes me feel better."

"It did."

"See!"

Kagome tilted her head on her shoulder as to say 'Hey I'm smiling behind this veil! See!"

"Kagome, why do you care so much."

Kagome looked confused.

"Its my job."

"It seems to me like its more than just your job. Like you'd do it anyway."

"I would."

"Why...what makes me so special to you."

"Cause, I...I think you care genuinely about people. I like you, your my best friend."

"Can I ask you a question."

"Sure."

"Hypothetically speaking, what would you do if you fell in love with your best friend."

"Hypothetically, I would tell them."

"OK, thanks."

Inuyasha got up and left. Then stopped, and took a deep breath.

"Kagome tomight is the ball thing. Remember, when I'm supposed to meet people and crap. If I got you something to wear, would you go with me?"

"Of course."

Inuyasha smiled. He smiled a big wide grin. His fangs even showed, a rare gesture with him.

"Ok, come with me. I have a Kimono already picked out for you. Come with me."

Kagome ran to Inuyasha side, and walked down the corridors, ready to get her dress.

"You look...amazing."

Inuyasha looked at Kagome. He had picked the outfit himself. He even got her a veil to match. Her kimono was turquoise with a silver lining. It was decorated with beautiful flowers and the sleeves were long and tipped in silver. Her veil was turquoise with a silver patten lining the bottom. She was breath-taking, her long raven hair up on top of her head, with just the right amount trailing down. Her eyes...god her eyes, they were lined with sliver at the lashes, her eyelids painted turquoise to match her dress.

"Do I look out of place?"

"No you look beautiful..."

Kagome blushed a light red. Her hands came to rest in front of her. She seemed picture perfect.

"You look handsome..."

Inuyasha blushed. His own attire picked out by his mother. It was dark blue, with silver lining to match Kagome's. His sleeves tipped with silver, and his pants lined with silver. His silver hair matching his attire so perfectly, it was amazing. The fabric was sewn with mountains and swords.

"Kagome, thank you for coming with me. I don't wanna be alone here, everyone's a jackass. Trying to impress the royal family..."

"Don't worry you'll be great."

"So will you, you look so beautiful tonight. Every man will ask to dance with you, and I'll have to beat them off."

"Sounds good."
